The SMF currently supports either the December 2018 compliance version of 3GPP specification or the June 2019 compliance version of 3GPP specification for the SMF interfaces such as N1, N2, N4, N7, N10, N11, N40, and Nnrf. The SMF processes the messages from these interfaces as per the compliance profile configured for the corresponding services. For information on the compliance profile configurations, see the Configuring Interfaces section.

Currently, only IE encoding and decoding is supported. The existing features work with the June 2019 specification versions. No additional features in the June 2019 version are supported.

Note	The SMF continues to support the older versions of 3GPP specifications and the compliance profile configuration controls the same for the SMF interfaces.

Use the following commands to configure the SMF interfaces in compliance with the 3GPP specifications.

Important

Service selection is based only on the specification version. In future releases, the full API version will be used.

NOTES:

• version full : Specifies the API full version for each service in the following format:

  <Major-version>.<Minor-version>.<patch-version>.[alpha-<draft-number>]

  The format is specified in 3GPP TS 29.501 V15.2.0, section 4.3.1.1.

• version spec : Specifies the 3GPP specification version number. It can be one of the following values:

  • 15.0.0

  • 15.1.0

  • 15.2.0

  • 15.2.1

  • 15.4.0

  Important

  Configuring the 3GPP specification version value depends on the SMF interface. Not all the preceding versions are options for the SMF interfaces. Only a combination of the preceding versions exist as options for the 3GPP version compliance configuration. For details on the compliance version, see the Standards Compliance section.

  For example, to support 3GPP June 2019 specification compliance for the N7 (PCF) interface, configure the specification version as 15.4.0.

  The default version number depends on the SMF interface. For example, the default version is 15.2.0 for the N7 interface. Similarly, for the N10 interface, the default version is 15.2.1.

• version uri : Specifies the API version URI for each service in the following format:

  "v" concatenated with a number

  It can be both v1 and v2, or either v1 or v2.

  For example, for the compliance version 15.4.0 in the NRF configuration for the service type nudm-sdm/nudm-uecm, mandate the configuration of the uri-version in the versions to ‘v2’. For compliance version 15.2.1, this configuration is optional.

  For example, version v1: (- url: '{apiRoot}/nsmf-pdusession/v1')

• service : The service names as specified in 3GPP TS 29.510 V15.2.0, section 6.1.6.3.11.

The following is a sample output of the interface configuration:

product smf(config-compliance-comp1)# show full

   service nsmf-pdusession
      version uri v1
      version full 1.0.0
